That was my idea to have a FreeBSD CVS mozilla tree and then feed the
patches back to the mozilla people. For the simple reason that A) there is
no public CVS tree yet at mozilla.org is there? B) It would be alot nicer
to have a FreeBSD cvs tree for the mozilla code. And then submit patches
back to them. I dont feel were betraying mozilla as chuck says if we start
a FreeBSD CVS tree as long as we feed the patches back to them. I think it
would tend to accelerate a well maintained FreeBSD port if we kept a CVS
tree then fed patches back. I'm not aware of the full story behind the
scenes of what halp the FreeBSD project gave the mozilla people. So I
might be missing some facts. But I personally dont see the harm in us
maintaining a FreeBSD CVS tree and submitting the patches back to
mozilla.org. Naturally everyone is going to have an opinion on wether this
is a respectable move in the eyes of the mozilla people. Well im tired and
confused :) so im off to la la land. Much discussion will in no doubt
follow.
